| 20090271882 | Transgenic Pig with Diabetes and Method for Producing the Same - A transgenic animal having diabetes, which is more suitable as a model of human than rodents, and its preparation method are disclosed. The method for preparing the transgenic pig comprises introducing a nucleic acid into a fertilized egg, clonal egg or embryo, the nucleic acid comprising a foreign gene which contains a region encoding dimerization domain of hepatocyte nuclear factor-1α, but does not encode a normal hepatocyte nuclear factor-1α, and a promoter located upstream of the foreign gene, which promoter is capable of expressing the foreign gene in a pig cell; and developing an individual from the fertilized egg, clonal egg or embryo. | 10-29-2009 |
